A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted in 80 diabetic patients, to evaluate the incidence of gastropathy by endoscopy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. An association between Helicobacter pylori infection and non-gastrointestinal complication of diabetes mellitus was also looked into. Gastric biopsies were subjected to rapid urease test for demonstration of Helicobacter pylori. The fasting blood glucose levels among Helicobacter pylori positive diabetes were 175 +/- 36.5 mg %, and in Helicobacter pylori negative diabetics were 138 +/- 39.4 mg %. The prevalence of endoscopically detectable gastro-intestinal complications were higher in Helicobacter pylori infected diabetics (odd's ratio 4:2; p0.05). The total prevalence of Helicobacter pylori positive in diabetics by rapid urease test was statistically significant (p0.05). Coronary heart disease was more prevalent in diabetics with Helicobacter pylori infection than those without Helicobacter pylori (57%). The prevalence of H. pylori positivity in other complications such as peripheral vascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases was not significant. The association between nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy with Helicobacter pylori, was also observed and the strong association was seen in diabetic retinopathy (p0.001), diabetic neuropathy (p0.01) and nephropathy (p0.001). |
